Il Castellino is a very nice farmhouse
that once belonged to and old abbey, no longer
existing.
It is set on a slope of the hill- with a beautiful
view on the plain of Lucca, the Apuan Alps and
the valley of Serchio river.
It is surrounded by a large terraced property
with beautiful olive groves.
The house has been restored with great taste and
great care for the minimum details, both inside
and outside, always using old stones, terracotta
tiles and wood beams.
The owner is a young antique dealer who found
most of the restoring decorative elements among
real antiques, like the kitchen old carved marble
sink. Unusual and valuable antique furniture and
objects are spread everywhere. Some antiques have
been adapted to new decorating uses as the beautiful
mirror gilded frame turned into a very original
bed head. In any corner this lovely house retains
all the traditional charming atmosphere of a tuscan
home.
The pool is nicely set among olive trees with
wide view on the valley.
To reach the house one has to drive through a
nice country paved road and then up on a gravelled
private road (about 600 mt) to the house and to
the wide open space surrounding it.
The owner lives in the independent restored
barn. His very friendly dog lives in the property.
The house lays on a terraced ground, on three
floors.
Sleeps 8.
